Multiple NIC recommended setup

[ratcashdev]

Please advice about the recommended setup for a box with multiple NICs.
The objective is to be able to send to multiple addresses internally (UNICAST) with the same throughput as would be the case with a single NIC to a single address.

From https://github.com/real-logic/aeron/wiki/Best-Practices-Guide I understand it's is necessary to have 3 threads for the Media Driver. The question is, are these 3 threads and a single instance of a Media Driver able to handle multiple NICs with the expected maximal theoretical throughput and latency? Or should we use (and is it even possible) multiple Media Driver instances dedicated to just a single NIC?

What about the application requirements (Producer)?

Lastly, probably a silly question: would aeron be a good choice to publish messages into the wild (Internet) to Source-Specific-Multicast group(s)?
